Wellness Trends to Watch in 2019

Lip Care Takes Center Stage

The skincare industry has finally realized the importance of lip care, and we’re not just talking about Burt’s Bees. From lip-specific oils to mineral masks and rose-tinted SPF balms, the market is flooded with products to pamper your pout.

Lagom: The Art of Balanced Living

This Swedish concept of moderation is taking off in interior design, with neutral colors and subtle accents becoming increasingly popular. But lagom is more than just a design trend – it’s a healthy-living philosophy that promotes balance and moderation in all aspects of life.

Your Face as a Garden

The latest skincare trend involves creating a fertile soil for your skin to thrive. This includes balancing your skin’s microbiome through diet and topical prebiotics and probiotics, as well as using products infused with natural ingredients like beeswax, royal jelly, and snail mucin.

DIY Anxiety Relief

While anxiety is a serious issue that requires professional help, there are many at-home relief options available. From meditation apps to online therapy sessions, weighted blankets, and CBD oil, there are plenty of ways to supplement your care and find calm.

CBD Oil: The Cure-All?

CBD oil is being hailed as a miracle cure for everything from anxiety to acne. While research is still ongoing, early signs suggest that oral applications of medical-grade CBD can have real benefits. But be cautious of unsubstantiated claims and unregulated products.

“Clean” Beauty Takes Over

Consumers are getting smarter about ingredients, and “clean” beauty is becoming the new standard. Look for products that are free from harsh chemicals and toxins, and don’t be afraid to read labels and do your research.

Lighting Up Your Life

From blue light to red light, infrared light, and beyond, lighting is becoming a major player in the wellness world. Whether it’s waking up to blue light, using red light therapy for collagen production, or relaxing in an infrared sauna, there’s a lighting trend to suit every need.

Collagen: The Fountain of Youth?

Adding collagen powder to your coffee may seem strange, but some swear by its anti-aging benefits. While research is still limited, small studies suggest that collagen supplements can improve skin elasticity, promote healthier nails, and reduce joint pain.

Food Trends to Watch

From plant-based refreshments to saturated-fat flavor bombs, 2019 is all about juxtapositions. Expect to see more unique food hybrids, like coffee beer and cricket protein powder, as well as a growing focus on gut health and sustainable eating.

Fitness Trends to Watch

Get ready to think outside the box (or gym) in 2019. From virtual reality fitness training to brain training, Megaformer workouts, and boxing studios, there are plenty of new and innovative ways to get fit and healthy.

Prioritizing Recovery

Recovery is becoming a major focus in the fitness world, with gyms and health centers adding features like cryotherapy, float tanks, and infrared saunas. Expect to see more recovery studios popping up, and don’t be afraid to prioritize self-care and rest.

Anyone Can Be a Ninja Warrior

American Ninja Warrior gyms are becoming increasingly popular, offering a unique full-body workout that’s both challenging and fun. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking for a new adventure, ninja training might be the perfect way to spice up your fitness routine.
